Set JAWS free!

Freedom Scientific’s goal should be to put JAWS into as many developer hands as possible, because if websites work best in JAWS people who need screen readers will chose the commercial product on the market.

I don’t know why it’s so hard to get their software outside the United States. Not like I can afford 1.5K but to get a license in Zimbabwe, I had to contact a “local” dealer based in South Africa who hasn’t replied to me after trying to email them twice.

Given how it’s so difficult, I wonder what software blind people here use. Not that most local sites are accessible to begin with, but I assume it’s NVDA or whatever the phone has.
